    Obviously he beat Walcott and Charles, he obviously had something about him at his best.
    Does he give Louis any issues or does he get blasted out? I suspect the styles mean he’d get blasted out, but I would’ve also have suspected Walcott and Charles would’ve battered him due to the style matchups.
    What do you think?

    Layne at his best would give Louis a tough fight, but his undoing would be his overreliance on his right hand.
